This Spider has been professionally converted to Dual Weber 40 DCOE Carburators that add to reliability and performance. In addition, this car was equipped with PC452 Street Performance Camshafts from Centerline. It is very quick and keeps pulling all the way to the top. I'm not sure of the top speed as the needle goes well beyond the speedometer's final marking. Facet electronic fuel pump with built-in fuel filter has been installed in the location of the stock unit. The car has 4 wheel disc brakes and a Limited Slip Differential. I also installed a new custom exhaust from the mid pipe back with catalytic delete.
Interior: It is in very good, almost excellent condition. The dash has NO cracks whatsoever as the car has been garage kept. Top is in excellent, near new shape with clear rear window. The top folds up and down with just one hand. Seats are in very good shape with no tears, few dirt spots which is typical for light colored convertible interiors. They recline, adjust and go back and forth on tracks perfectly. Carpets are factory original molded set in good shape. Trunk has the factory carpeting with an original battery cover.
Steering wheel wood and shifter are matching shades of wood and are very good. Center console is clean and tight. There's no radio but these cars sound so beautiful you would never use it anyway.
Body: I bought the car with minor rust in the right fender and a ding in the nose that was repaired at a professional shop in Pasadena, California with an excellent color tint and match. There are few nicks on the paint but the body is straight. Underside is dry and clean.
Tires are in almost new condition and are mounted on model correct Turbina wheels.
Electricals: All gauges are operational. All lights work, including side marker lights, hi/lo beams, turnsignals, etc. Interior turn signal indicator bulb burnt out. I checked the leads with a tester and all it needs is a replacement bulb. Wipers work on low and high.
This car does not overheat even in the LA traffic. It has been my daily driver and I tend to put over 70 miles per day. Car tracks straight. Brakes are good. Recent oil change using Valvoline Synthetic VR1 oil and K&N filter.
So, then why am I selling such a great Alfa Spider? I need something with more than just one passenger seat. As such, I am willing to let go of my Spider and find an early Berlina or Giulia. In fact, I am open to barter for a very clean one.
I am listing the car in auction format but also with BIN price. As a bonus for BIN buyer, I will include a 74 Serie 2 Spider complete but not running. The 74 comes with the highly desirable steel front and rear bumpers, factory exhaust header, earlier door trim panels and other trim items. It is mechanically complete as well and is rolling on Cromodora Daytona factory alloys. It has a straight body but with some rust. Overall its a restoration worth its while as the early Serie 2 Spiders are climbing in price or you can use the bumpers and the rest of the rare early pieces to complement the 79. The 74 is included at the BIN price ONLY.
Please note that this is 34 year old car and even though it looks and runs great it is not represented as new or as restored. Please feel free to ask any question or request additional photos. The car is listed on sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time!
Special word to scammers: Please do not bother here. This is not my first sale over the internet so if you are not physically present, work on an oil rig, doubled over in a remote hospital or came into a fortune that you would need access to except without my help, please DON'T bother! I will pursue scams to the full extent that Ebay allows!

Ram and Alfa Romeo top J.D. Power study of best automaker websites
Fri, Jul 21 2023Imagining a new car can be terrific fun, especially if the new car is an Alfa Romeo. So say the fantasy engineers at the J.D. Power agency, who’ve found that Alfa and Ram, sister brands under the Stellantis umbrella, offer potential buyers the most attractive consumer websites, which are often their first viable encounter with those vehicles. Power found that those marques lead the mass market and premium categories in its twice annual Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study. In the premium segment, Alfa Romeo led with 755 points, up six points over BMW, 10 points ahead of Infiniti, 14 points past of Jaguar, and 18 points up on Porsche. By contrast, Volvo and Audi trail the pack with 689 points, and are behind Genesis (699 points), Tesla (720), and Cadillac (721), all of which perform worse than the premium segment average of 724 points. The summerÂ’s study showed that in the mass market segment, Ram leads with an impressive 735 points, which puts it six points ahead of GMC, seven points atop its stablemate Jeep, eight points beyond Subaru, and 22 points ahead of the industry average. Volkswagen finished dead last among mass market names, but only one point behind Ford, 684 to 683 out of a possible 1,000. Segment average, as noted, was 713 points. “Website satisfaction can be volatile, and automotive websites are not immune to changing preferences,” said Jon Sundberg, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. “However, manufacturers have shown to be very agile when it comes to website design and ensuring their sites meet modern standards, more so than many other industries, as exemplified through the study data.” Marketing/Advertising Alfa Romeo Audi BMW Ford Volkswagen
Muhammad Ali's 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Series II is for sale
Sat, Apr 27 2019An Alfa Romeo was never in the plans. It was by accident that Muhammad Ali ended up bringing home this beautiful silver-on-black 1976 Spider Veloce Series II, but its interesting backstory only makes it more special. It's a story the car's next owner will surely need to memorize, as the car is currently listed on eBay for a Buy It Now price of $39,900 OBO. Found by Silodrome, the car is listed by Moto Exotica out of St. Louis, Missouri. According to Moto Exotica, which sources a clip from the book "Running with the Champ" by Ali's close friend and car guy Tim Shanahan, Ali had set out with Shanahan to buy a new Rolls-Royce (Ali loved his Double-Rs) during his time living in Chicago. The two visited European Imports in Lake Forest, Illinois, with the intention of buying a Kelly Green Corniche and possibly a Mercedes-Benz SL for Ali's wife, Veronica Porche. To Ali's dismay, the dealership did not have any SLs in stock, so this Alfa was suggested as an alternative. Ali purchased the car, brought it home, and ran into yet another issue. Porche did not know how to drive the car's manual transmission, and apparently didn't have any desire to learn. So the car mostly sat, with the exception of some rare errand runs by one of Ali's assistants. After a short time passed, Ali learned that Shanahan's personal car had broken down. In a situation that perhaps suggests destiny, Ali then gifted the car to Shanahan, who has owned the car for 40-plus years up until its sale to Moto Exotica. With about 80,000 miles, it has some wear and tear, such as a small crack on the dashboard, but it's in solid overall shape and recently received a respray. Plus it comes with the real registration with Ali's signature on it. Check out the full photos, video, and descriptive listing at Moto Exotica.
